So why did we choose there instead Central Florida? If you have tried to reserve a campsite in Florida during the winter you would know that there are none. The entire northern states empty all of their senior citizens and send them to Florida. The only open sites are located up north in the panhandle.
Blackwater River SP 1 March thru 15 March. Spot 11. Pensacola area.
Pretty spot. Glad the heater worked.

Visited Pensacola and old times. We were stationed there in 1971. Our apartment was gone. Replaced by higher end condos. We found the Naval Air Station Museum and wore the soles off our shoes.
On the way back, we stopped at Fort Walton Beach. Beautiful sand and seascapes.
Back at the campsite I decided to do a little fishing. Beautiful River, no fish. So we decided to take a hike. Nice hike but a 6ft snake surprised us in the path. I immediately put Connie in the lead. And we shuffled our feet. And we sung. And we whistled. And we talked loud. And we talked a lot. I also made a mental note. We need a walking stick.
Because we were camping, we had to cook over the open fire. So one time we had bacon. (Connie likes bacon cooked outside. No grease.) Another time we had a fruit compote cooked in aluminum. Hey, when in the woods you have to cook like a woodsman.
We bought wood for the fire. I brought charcoal in case it was needed. But what would be nice if I had a little tinder. God provides. The place was littered with pinecones. And I learned that pinecones make great tinder. They literally blow out a flammable liquid from each petal as they burn. What a hotty. I am man. Hear me roar.
